Company Overview
We’re passionate about making a difference
through design.

We've always believed that intelligent design provides a competitive advantage, influencing people to choose one product or service over all the others in the marketplace. Without the aid of design, the basic features of products and services will appear very similar to the consumer. Design is the difference-maker, engaging, informing and influencing the consumer to make the right purchase decisions.
Vortex Communications can make that difference, in every vehicle, from printed pieces and advertising to the web.
The nuts and bolts.
Vortex Communications was formed by Tom Weinkle and Miki Speijers in the early eighties, when design was as much craft as concept. We worked with pens, glues and razors to bring great ideas to life. Now we work with the latest software and technologies, in both 2D and 3D, on paper and online. But from day one, we have always focused on providing results-oriented creative rooted in sound strategies. And we know that’s why, over the years, our clients have kept coming back.
Today, we’re a team of eight people, mostly creative design professionals. The others keep things humming along. As a client, you will work directly with the design team. No middleman. No third wheel to misinterpret your goals and wishes. And no wasted expense. Every dollar goes toward the people and technology that produce the work.
We have worked in myriad industries, from banking and health care to real estate and telecommunications, distilled spirits and retail goods to resort vacations and the arts. In fact, we are hard-pressed to think of any industry we haven’t work in. We have also worked in every medium imaginable, and unlike many design firms, even do illustration in-house.
In short, we are capable, creative, and hard-working. And we are ready to go to work for you, on whatever needs doing.
